So I finally made a video for Instagram telling people that I'm blind cuz honestly it's just mad awkward but I will be at Live Box on Friday and on Sunday so if you see your black guy walk around with a big old white cane it's probably me

I'm trying to go to lightbox this year at least for one day which day should I choose cuz I'm thinking Friday cuz my blind ass will probably need some help getting around

A year ago today I lost my eyesight I miss drawing I miss painting photography I miss seeing my friends and my family and looking at my dog that's really all there is

So when is Ed Sheeran starting his only fans cuz the way he took out his entire spine so that way he can better bend over for all those Millionaires and billionaires there's really be worth the $5 a month

I can't believe I'm saying this but we should stream Macklemore

As of line guy who lives by himself I do feel like one day I'm going to find out there's been some weirdo secretly living in my house like in one of those like internet stories but it's okay though I have hands

I do want to say that life is not been all negative last weekend I went to the Just Like Heaven Festival again where I got to see The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem it was absolutely fucking amazing and this weekend I'll be at the Pokemon world championships

I'm not dead but I did take a break from social media mostly just to deal with a loss of my Wonder meeting sibling and that I'm still adjusting to being blind

God I swear media literacy is dead and we have killed it

Signed up for music class so now I can finally stop sucking at a guitar because I am like 15 years out of practice or is it 19 years either way it's been a long ass time but not to go buy an acoustic guitar because I cannot bring my electric

A good relationship should be 50/50 as in I never shut up about how the X-Men are my favorite polycule and you just smile along and wonder why you love me it's that simple

Anyway tldr your boy went blind and he's cooked and now I can go back to being entertaining

Do not feel bad for me I did not take care of my health for years while trying to pursue this type of career and being caretaker it turns out you cannot do this for a decade straight while I regret going blind I do not regret doing what I did

I mean I've been living without my eyesight since pretty much November and it's not very fun but that's just going to be life so obvious that means I won't be painting professionally I will figure out something else to do an animation and TV and movies thank you to everyone who still deals with me

I figure I should rip off this Band-Aid by saying that my eyes aren't going to get much better I've had two surgeries being legally blind is this going to be something I'm going to have to live with as I've been doing for almost a year now your boy is cooked thank you very much

If the Knicks lose I'm blaming Donald Trump and if they win it's totally zoran's doing anyway Nixon 4

Said thank you for all your kind words I've really just been busy focusing on my niece and my nephews and my sister-in-law

It's really not lost on me that this new crop of very successful young directors are not using AI and are also vehemently opposed to the use of it in their films

I feel so weird giving any sort of bad news about myself because I feel like you are going to start thinking that I'm cursed because I already think I am

Sorry I've been gone for like a month but my last remaining brother has passed away not long ago and honestly I've just been dealing with a bunch of family stuff and just taking care of my niece and nephews I am not ghosting you I am sorry

Anyway I'm doing well with my new place updating some things I'm managing to get around well using my cane and just kind of feeling things around so no accidents yet

Last year I was the representative for Altadena at lightbox Expo but now that I have so many vision problems I can't even see the sign up for lightbox which I really want to do again this year like I'm pretty sure I missed my chance which really sucks

I am just so grateful to the friends who call me on the phone so then I don't have to use speech to text because it gets so tedious and feels like a conversation can take like 5 hours

I've been in my new place for about a week and so far I love it it takes a little bit getting used to learn the new layout but it feels really nice to be in my own place on my own couch watching my own Netflix and I'm really enjoying the peace I still can't see shit but things could be worse

I start my move bright and early tomorrow morning I just got to say moving is very expensive and I really wish in hindsight that I made an Amazon wish list

So after a bit more than a year I am finally moving back to my hometown of Altadena and I'm very much looking forward to this new chapter in my life

Waiting for a concert at night is really hard as fuck when you're blind as shit

This morning we dedicated the new children's center at the Altadena Public Library which is now going to be under construction to my father and brother it will be known as the Anthony Mitchell Sr and Justin Mitchell Children's Center

I was trying to tag open mike eagle but my voice to text seems to make that impossible because he's an awesome Mutual and this is my third time seeing him in concert and each time I go the venue keeps getting bigger anyway if anyone else is going tonight I'm the black guy with a cane

On my way to see one of my favorite rappers in open mike eagle who was performing with clipping tonight who I also can't wait to see it's going to be dope as hell

It's kind of messed up that both 1984 and A Brave New World both ended up being right about the future

I went back to Jujitsu about 4 weeks ago and I absolutely love it since I cannot currently draw paint or do photography is one of the few things from my old life that I can still do while I wait to see if I will get any part of my eyesight back

So a little update I can finally get into my messages again so feel free to send me a message I got the accessibility features working and also I went back to jujitsu I've been there for a month now I absolutely love it

It took a little over a year but my family is finally in their final resting place thank you for everyone that has gone through this with me

, hey would you mind helping out the homie they've been really good to me

I've decided that if I do not get my eyesight back and I'm unable to paint for a job I would like to move into both production and distribution for TV films and animation if I cannot make things myself I would love to help others

I just want to say thank you very much for everyone he shared this from your shares I got about $27 and I went and bought cookies which is my brother's favorite thing in the world for celebrating today

If you take 20 a year ago today I lost my brother and my father and if you would like to order them today or this weekend please go to your local library eat a cookie and maybe watch some Star Trek I'd appreciate it

www.gofundme.com/f/help-jorda... I hope you don't mind me sharing this again I know it's been a year but they've reopened my fundraiser for the anniversary

Using speech to text to make a post is a lot easier than trying to figure out how to post a link on here like it feels next to Impossible and is a real pain in the ass when you can't see

If you are the type to watch the Rose Parade on New Year's there will be a float dedicated to everyone that died in the fires I cannot see it myself but I hear looks nice

This has been the longest set of years ever and even a year ago today I basically cracked my head open and had to go to the hospital which started this whole really bullshit cycle for me and I'm still exhausted

So go fund me was kind enough to ask to reopen my fundraiser due to the one-year anniversary of the fires and my lack of eyesight making me legally blind at least for the next year I still feel weird about sharing it but it is a blessing nonetheless but a big part of me does I like it's greedy

If you believe Jesus is born in Bethlehem just know that would be modern-day Palestine Merry Christmas

You know what lately I've come to really appreciate the late night phone call especially when the PTSD keeps me up at night

I really thought with the whole my parents being dead thing I would never hear about when am I getting married anytime soon again but lo and behold I have a lot of aunties and married friends who now like to drill me

Guess who is spending next Halloween with My Chemical Romance yep it's this guy

I'll be honest I really do miss how easy it was talk to my friends before the whole not being able to properly see things started happening by the way I use text to speech to make all these posts I cannot see my phone screen
